  • This video shows how to decode the DNA code. We convert the DNA message into the sequence of mRNA bases, then convert to tRNA bases and finally we show the amino acids.

    You have no idea how incredibly helpful this video was! I am a high school senior enrolled in Genetics (my major in college is Biology: Laboratory Medicine; Genetics is a required 300 leveled course). Because the subject is advanced, my teacher treats it equivalently to a college course. So much so that she doesn't fully reiterate topics such as what this video pertained to. I have a test tomorrow on DNA, Protein Synthesis, Gene Regulation and Mutations and I feel extremely prepared for this section. Very helpful once again, thank you!

    And another question: when you are identifying the amino acid, which strand do you have to look at? The mRNA or the tRNA, because you placed a bracket on the tRNA strand, but based the a.a. On the mRNA strand.
